The report at the link below reminds us of Barack Obama’s This was the moment speech.

“This was the moment,” Barack Obama had told the cheering audience in St. Paul, Minnesota. “When we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war.”

With no ocean in Minnesota where he gave that speech and with ObamaCare an unpopular subsidized failure and the few new jobs around being confined to a local McDonald’s and Al Qaeda taking over Iraq Obama has nothing left to do but to go back to his old promise of defeating the rise of the ocean.

Mr. Obama has ruled out air strikes as Al Qaeda moves on to Baghdad.

While the Iraqi government was begging for air support, Obama instead issued an order in the name of the authority vested in him “by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America” to “ensure that seafood sold in the United States is legally and sustainably caught.”

Never let it be said that Mr. Obama didn’t have his priorities straight -- make seafood safe rather than think about the Iraq crisis.

Now a California grand jury has indicted Kareem Ahmed, a major donor to President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, and 15 of Ahmed's associates in an alleged multimillion-dollar insurance kickback scheme.

Ahmed, the president and CEO of a company called Landmark Medical Management, is accused of masterminding the scheme and faces charges including conspiracy, insurance fraud, and, most dramatically, involuntary manslaughter, according to one of two sealed indictments.
